Reviews

  • „A touching drama of loneliness between two people. Magdalena Myszkiewicz creates a full-blooded role of a woman torn by her experiences when she is diagnosed with cancer. Konrad Pawicki, who has to play an underestimated man of the stage, makes his role a tribute to acting”.
    – Gazeta Wyborcza
  • „The sixth production of this play in the world and the best so far”.
    – Ger Thijs – author of the play
